Their Master’s Voice est un spectacle impressionnant et inclassable mettant en vedette une véritable légende, l’acteur John Malkovich. Dans cette œuvre d’envergure internationale qui se déroule en 1725, il est accompagné sur scène de deux chanteurs d’opéra, d’une actrice, de musiciens baroques et d’un chœur de 12 voix. John Malkovich, reconnu mondialement pour sa personnalité et sa voix singulières, y incarne le célèbre Nicola Porpora, compositeur de 40 opéras et maître de chant des deux castrats les plus éblouissants de leur époque, Farinelli et Caffarelli. Brutalement confronté à leur ego, Porpora explore avec eux les limites de la création : ce que l’art permet de dire ou de ne pas dire, de faire ou de ne pas faire. Les personnages oscillent dangereusement entre ces deux pôles, au seuil de la provocation. Ce rôle sied à merveille à John Malkovich, artiste iconoclaste ayant tourné dans plus de 70 films, dont Dangerous Liaisons où il incarnait l’inoubliable Valmont et Being John Malkovich, où il jouait une version satyrique de lui-même. Toujours à l’affût de projets audacieux, il se retrouve aujourd’hui dans Their Master’s Voice, une proposition originale où se mêlent des réparties brillantes, des costumes flamboyants et les plus grands airs des castrats de l’ère baroque. Commandé par l’Opéra de Monte-Carlo, Their Master’s Voice a été créé en 2024 à Vienne et a triomphé entre autres à l’Opéra royal de Versailles à Paris. Il est présenté au Québec dans le cadre d’une tournée mondiale. Le spectacle est une création de Michael Sturminger, metteur en scène dont la passion est de tendre de nouveaux ponts entre la musique classique et le théâtre contemporain. Complices dans cette fine recherche artistique, Sturminger et Malkovich avaient déjà collaboré ensemble par le passé, notamment dans le film Casanova Variations en 2014. Their Master’s Voice, un spectacle évènement comme il en existe très peu, s’avère une brillante fusion entre l’opéra baroque et une théâtralité pleine d’esprit, en plus de ravir ceux qui ont toujours rêvé de voir l’immense John Malkovich sur scène.

Their Master’s Voice is an impressive and unclassifiable show starring a true legend, actor John Malkovich. In this international production set in 1725, he is joined on stage by two opera singers, an actress, baroque musicians, and a 12-voice choir. John Malkovich, known worldwide for his unique personality and voice, plays the famous Nicola Porpora, composer of 40 operas and singing teacher to the two most dazzling castrati of their time, Farinelli and Caffarelli. Brutally confronted with their egos, Porpora explores with them the limits of creation: what art allows us to say or not to say, to do or not to do. The characters oscillate dangerously between these two poles, on the verge of provocation. This role is perfectly suited to John Malkovich, an iconoclastic artist who has appeared in more than 70 films, including Dangerous Liaisons, in which he played the unforgettable Valmont, and Being John Malkovich, in which he played a satirical version of himself. Always on the lookout for daring projects, he now finds himself in Their Master’s Voice, an original production combining brilliant repartee, flamboyant costumes, and the greatest arias of the Baroque era’s castrati. Commissioned by the Monte Carlo Opera, Their Master’s Voice premiered in 2024 in Vienna and was a triumph at the Royal Opera of Versailles in Paris, among other venues. It is being presented in Quebec as part of a world tour. The show is the brainchild of Michael Sturminger, a director whose passion is to build new bridges between classical music and contemporary theater. Sturminger and Malkovich, who share a keen artistic vision, have collaborated in the past, notably on the 2014 film Casanova Variations. Their Master’s Voice, a rare theatrical event, is a brilliant fusion of baroque opera and witty theatricality, sure to delight those who have always dreamed of seeing the great John Malkovich on stage.
